Guillaume Loizillon: Territories
Saturday 25 November — Presentations
15.00 — 15.30
Territories explores the imagination of spaces in a sound way. The project is part of a long experience of "in situ" interventions, carried out for several years: concerts, performances, installations or walks using nomadic audio devices powered by batteries or solar energy. It could be situated in various locationds, including inner spaces. This installation aims to stage a fantasy sound world in osmosis with the landscapes. It offers a listening mode where the listener moves through a place where the sound sources are placed in objects: cages, bags hanging from trees, bird shelters or even simply hidden from view.
The sounds are integrated into the already present soundscape. It is not a composition aiming to magnify the sounds of nature but, to let hear chimerical narrations where can mingle: the animal, the sounds of nature or human activity, and what seems belong these categories.
